Drugstore blushes are either really amazing, or depressingly mediocre. I’ve weeded through all the lackluster options and present to you only the best of the best!
I feel like it wasn’t all that long ago when drugstore blushes were basically all the same shade of chalky pink. Thankfully, those days are long gone.
Drugstore brands are filling stores with all kinds of blush shades and finishes. But that doesn’t mean they’re all winners.
This is a roundup of my favorite blushes at the drugstore. I love them all for one reason or another, so make sure you read through the entire post to find out which drugstore blush is best for you!
*UPDATED: New blushes have been released since this post was originally published. In order to keep this info current and super helpful, I have changed some of my top drugstore blush picks to keep up with the times. I plan on updating consistently as new products are released!
THE QUICK VERSION
ColourPop Super Shock Blush
Imagine this: you’re craving that gorgeous dewy and creamy blush look that’s so popular right now, but just the thought of applying cream blush is making your powder cake up. This is what you need! The fluffy texture is a great gateway between a cream and a powder and it’s super easy to blend.Covergirl Full Spectrum Sculpt Expert Multiuse Cheek Palette
Recently I’ve been getting artsy with my blush colors, and this palette is awesome for that. The powders are super shimmery and fun, and I love that I get almost infinite looks out of it just by changing up what colors I dip into first.L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Blush
Ah, L’Oréal Super Blendable. I used to make fun of this line, calling it “Super Blandable.” It’s true, they don’t have the flashiest packaging or the wildest colors, but there is a reason they have stuck around so long. The shades are pigmented yet easy to work with. And the shades are curated to work with pretty much any skin tone. It takes the guesswork out of finding a flattering shade of blush. I think these are a great basic to have in your collection.NYX Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder Blush (Matte)
NYX is known for their super pigmented blushes, so much that I actually avoided them for a long time. If blush is your thing, then these next two drugstore blushes will be high on your makeup shopping list. This line of matte blushes is colorful, creamy and delicious.NYX Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder Blush (Glow)
Where you have mattes, you must also have shimmers! The Glow line is the Matte line’s radiant counterpart. The shade selection is meant to be nearly identical, with the main difference being the texture of the formula.Milani Cheek Kiss Blush
Dewy skin is in, which means plenty of cream and liquid blushes are popping up out of nowhere. This one from Milani comes in 6 shades and is said to be very easy to blend just so. If you’re a liquid blush novice like I am, this looks like a good choice.Covergirl Clean Fresh Cream Blush
Another new option is this similar new cream blush from Covergirl. This one has a bit more shimmer infused. Perfect if you like an easy glow in just one step.e.l.f. Cream Blush Palette
e.l.f. Cosmetics face palette quads are my go-to face palettes for travel! The creams are great quality, and the individual pans pop out so that you can mix and match shades from multiple palettes. Watch out though, the palettes are very pigmented so use them sparingly and blend over the area with a sponge to diffuse the color.e.l.f. Primer-Infused Blush
If sparkles or creams aren’t your thing, then e.l.f. Cosmetics Primer-Infused Blush is all the matte goodness you could ever ask for! I can tell that this is meant to be a workhorse blush that you can throw on and forget all day. It comes in four shades, one that would look nude on one of the skin tone groups: Fair, Light, Tan/Golden, and Deep.Milani Rose Powder Blush
These are great if you love a soft, barely there, blush look. The shades are muted, but they aren’t un-pigmented by any means. They’re also matte, so if you really want to control the shimmer on your face, these are a good option.That’s all for today!
